Bettie Page Clothing

Do you love the fashions
of Mad Men (when it was set in the
50s, not now that it’s in the 60s, yuck (used car salesman, anyone? (no offence
to used car salespeople, of course. I’m sure it’s a lucrative and satisfying
career)))? I certainly do. I find it inspiring.

It was A LOT of hard work,
but I bagged a (human) man. We’re getting married in September 2013. Oh, stop
it, with all the “congratulations” already! Really. I mean after you a hear a
word 4 or 5 times it’s like, “Ahhh! Stop. I forget what that word means.” Yeah,
people love me.

When I was getting
hammered and making bad decisions (how I met my fiancé (that’s a lie)) in Vegas
a few months ago I discovered the “Bettie Page Clothing” store and loved the
way the slim cut dresses flattered my sexy sexy body. I bought a black one and
wore it that night. It’s a new favorite.

Famous in the 1950s for her fetish modeling and
pin-up photos, the iconic “Queen of
Pinups” — one of
Playboy Magazine’s first “Playmates
of the Month” — Bettie
Page continues to captivate millions of men and women around
the world with her youthful sexy image, voluptuous figure, and signature jet
black hair with short-cut bangs and blue eyes.

The store offers a
variety of hot dresses (mostly), outfits, swimwear, and accessories inspired by
the style of the late Bettie Page.

The fiance section

I went to the
Hollywood location to find some dresses for my upcoming engagement shoot. It’s
a lot bigger than the Vegas location. Unfortunately they didn’t have my size in
either of the two dresses that I fell in love with. But I ended up getting a bathing
suit and crinoline (the thing that poofs out full skirts). The staff is super
friendly and helpful. They took my number to help my track down one of the
dresses that isn’t available on the website anymore. That’s another thing, the
website has practically everything the store does, but I’ve found it’s really
important to try the dresses on. BUT one can buy online and exchange to the
store – so there’s that.
